I have a legitmately purchased Microsoft Office 97 CD and it has been loaded
on my computer for many years. Recently Office Activation Wizard appeared on
my computer requiring me to REACTIVATE ! I am using XP Professional OS. The
notice I get is "Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage has detected
a significant change in your machine configuratioh. For Microsoft Office XP
Professional with Front Page to continue functioning properly, and to avoid
entry into reduced functionality mode, you must reactivate y0our product.
With the product in reduced functionality mode, you will not be able to save
or create new documents and other product functionality will be reduced. For
more information about reduced functionality mode, click the Hel button. To
start the reactivation process, please insert your Microsoft Office XP
Professional with Front Page 'CD and then click the next button.

This post is not a "Suggestion for Microsoft." It also doesn't appear to be
a question. *Has* your configuration changed? What happens when you try to
reactivate?

Please do not post your question(!) as a "Suggestion for
Microsoft". If you are actually using Office 97, and not Office
XP Professional with Front Page, then uninstall Office XP by
clicking on Start | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs |
Microsoft Office XP Professional with Front Page | Remove.
